Dan Hawkes couldn’t have asked for a better start to his campaign on the famous Chilham Mill than two of the lake’s most sought-after residents gracing his net!

Outlaw Pro’s new brand director banked Ringo at 44lb 8oz and The Two Tone Linear at 39lb 15oz during his first two overnighters on the Kent venue.

Both were taken on slip-D rigs fished over crushed boilies infused with extra liquid flavourings.

He told Angling Times: “What a way for my winter ticket to start, and these captures capped a great year’s angling for me.

“I’ve mainly fished overnighters in between work, and have been fortunate to catch a few forties and numerous thirties as well as an 89lb common during a week at Lake Serene in France.
